"Madam President, the principle of subsidiarity is probably one of the most oft-quoted principles in relation to the European Union, and it is both at once a strength and a weakness. It is a strength in the sense that Member States can legislate in certain areas themselves, and they cannot be blaming the European Union for everything and say the European Union should do this, that or the other thing. It is a weakness and particularly it is a weakness which we see in the response to the economic crisis.
There are certain things that probably most people would agree need to be done at a much quicker pace, but because of subsidiarity, that cannot happen. Nevertheless, if it comes to Treaty change, it is going to be vital that we spell it out very clearly and work very closely with national parliaments to get the issues which we want resolved. Having said that, it is encouraging to hear what the Commissioner said regarding the responses from national parliaments in relation to the Lisbon Treaty and subsidiarity, and that is certainly my experience in my own country as well."@en1
